- It is a gas, the amount of which decreases with altitude.
- Its percentage is maximum at the poles.
Select
the answer using the code given below :
(a). 1 only
(b). 2 only
(c). Both 1 and 2
(d). Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
Statement 1: Correct. Water vapor is
indeed a gas, and its concentration generally decreases with altitude due to
lower temperatures and pressure at higher altitudes
Statement 2: Incorrect. Water vapor
content is generally higher in warmer regions, near the equator, and decreases
towards the poles due to lower temperatures.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a): 1
only
